Fall online Scrivener courses now open for registration

Fall online Scrivener courses now open for registration

Fall is coming soon, which means it's time for another Scrivener course (or two). Based on student feedback, I've decided to make some changes.1. I am splitting my original four-week, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink course into two different classes. That means less time commitment per course, and less money to spend if you're not ready to move into–or only need–intermediate and advanced concepts.

(If you're waiting for a Compile class, don't worry. The next one starts December 8th.)

2. We're getting a new classroom environment, one that I hope will provide some of the benefits of the previous platform, but without the technical problems.

The new classroom is set up like a web forum. Not as pretty, but it allows for organizing Q&A by topic, and makes the content searchable. A big plus for those who can't remember where they saw a post.

To learn more–and/or to register–keep reading! Or, for more detailed information on all of my upcoming courses, visit the course page on my website.

I hope you and your family are settled in to your new home in Boston and looking forward to the beautiful fall foliage headed your way 🙂

Just a quick question about upcoming classes – I took your 4-week Scrivener class a year or so ago and am very interested in taking the Compile class. Will you be announcing registration for the December class in a later newsletter?

Reblogged this on Kentucky Mountain Girl News and commented:
KMGN: I no longer use Windows for my writing projects, but when I did, I used Scrivener and found the work-flow and creativity were equal so am re-blogging this for those who may be interested in the courses being offered. I am highly encouraging as many of you as possible to take the course and use the Scrivener program. It is wonderful!
